Well, if this particular whisky is the "World Whisky Of The Year for 2016", then I guess it must be that good. It's also affordable at $25 per bottle, so I might try this one out sometime.
As much as I would love to try out this whisky, $145 is quite expensive to spend it all on whisky. Maybe next time, when I finally have a lot of money to spare.
No, I also have not tried making my own booze, because they're quite cheap already to begin with, so no need to exert effort into making one. I'd rather just buy.
